It's the Mistakes

It is not that the 2005 Ravens are that bad of a football team; talentwise, even the reserves are incredibly talented es evidenced by how close the score of today's 12-10 loss to the Brocnos was.. But it was the mistakes that doomed the Ravens in this game:

• Kyle Boller's inexplicable throw to the endzone on 3rd and 4 that cost the team a shot at a field goal, and the playcalling that led to the pass play.
  
• Kyle Boller's pass to Todd Heap that was short and intercepted.
• On 4th and Goal, the Coaching staff calling an off-tackle running play from the 2, just one play after throwing on 3rd and Goal.
  
• Kyle Boller's fumble in the 4th Quarter on the first play following Terrell Suggs' fumble recovery, particularly since Ovie Mughelli was open right in front of him to at least pick up a yard or two.
• Ed Reed's missed tackle of Andre Lelie on the end around that wrapped the game up for Denver.

This team is better than 4-9. Even with Ray Lewis, Jamal Lewis, Will Demps all out, this team is better than 4-9. Mental mistakes seem to be the problem.
